CDO AS A CHIEF REGULATION OFFICER: MANAGING THE ORGANIZATIONAL IMPACT OF MANY NEW CYBERSECURITY REGULATIONS
Stuart Madnick, Cybersecurity at MIT Sloan (CAMS)
The CDO’s responsibilities have always included increasing the value of the organization’s data, now the CDO must also play a role in protecting that valuable data. Furthermore, there are new complexities due to rapidly increasing new regulations, inspired by cyberattacks, being enacted around the world. In this session, we will discuss some of the major categories of these regulations, their likely impacts, and how organizations need to adjust to address them. We have identified over 103 new regulations in areas such: (1) Required Software and Data Bill of Materials (SBOM and DBOM), (2) Required “Secure by Design,” (3) Prohibition on Payment of Ransomware to Free up Data, (4) Data Governance (such as Data Localization), (5) Required Reporting of Data Cyber Incidents.

HOW TO SOLVE YOUR DATA INTEGRATION CHALLENGE
Michael Stonebraker, MIT CSAIL
Data integration requires solving several different problems (global schema construction, extract-transform-and-load, data cleaning, feature extraction, deduplication, golden record selection, classification, etc.) To solve these challenges, you need to bring a variety of tools to bear including traditional machine learning, deep learning, large language models (LLMs), rule systems, and conventional analysis techniques. In this talk I explain the best technology for a number of these problems and conclude that “one size does not fit all”. Hence, end-to-end data integration will require a tool kit of different techniques.

BUILDING DATA CAPABILITIES FOR SUSTAINABILITY - FROM AD-HOC REACTIVITY TO PROACTIVE SUSTAINABILITY
Christine Legner, University of Lausanne
Elizabeth Teracino, University of Lausanne
Many companies use the UN Sustainable Development Goals as a point of reference for their sustainability initiatives and actions. Reporting on these goals requires collecting, processing, and interpreting substantial amounts of data (e.g., on emissions or recycled materials) that were previously neither captured nor analyzed. Data availability, access and quality are particularly urgent issues when reporting on sustainability initiatives becomes mandatory and requires the audit of the reported information, as imposed under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) from the European Union (EU). In this presentation, we analyze the data practices in more than 10 multinational companies and find that sustainability-related data requirements are mostly addressed in an ad-hoc manner. Building up data management capabilities is key for moving from ad-hoc reactivity to proactive sustainability. We outline a data management framework for sustainability and provide examples and recommendations, specifically for data sourcing practices, sustainability data products and data stewardship for sustainability.

DATA LEADERSHIP: A PSYCHOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE
Bor-Shiuan Cheng, National Taiwan University
Min-Ping Huang, Yuan Ze University
Chou-Yu Tsai, Binghamton University
In an era where data-driven decision-making holds paramount importance, leaders are confronted with the challenge of effectively harnessing data to inform their strategic decisions in organizational management. Our research at National Twaiwan University, Yuan Ze University and Binghamton University specifically focuses on the psychological aspects of data leadership—how leaders apply psychological theories to guide their strategies in defining, collecting, and analyzing data. We emphasize the critical alignment between theory, measurement, and analysis, significantly enhancing the value of data management in shaping leadership strategies. In doing so, our work not only defines a pathway to enhance data validity at the individual, dyad, and group levels but also lays the groundwork for systemic organizational change, promoting the widespread adoption of data-driven approaches throughout the organization.

THE PARADOX OF LEADERSHIP SKILLS FOR CDOS
Elliott Kruse, EGADE Business School
Christian Yarid Ayala Millán, EGADE Business School
Su Jin Yeon, University of Groningen
Despite the exploding importance of the Chief Data Officer, modern empirical research is scarce. To remedy this, we conduct a qualitative study of multiple CDOs, in which we interview them about their experiences and career paths, how they define the role, and the obstacles they have faced. Through these interviews, we have identified a core tension or paradox. On one hand, they rarely have decision-making power built into their position; usually they are expected to guide via counsel and persuasion. On the other hand, their career paths may not have had the same opportunities to develop these skills. In other words, more than any other C-suite position, CDOs may most need soft leadership skills and have been afforded the fewest opportunities to develop them. Through our conversations from EGADE Business School in Mexico and University of Groningen in Netherlands with CDOs in both the United States and Latin America, we identify the ways that they have managed this core tension and some of the solutions they have found to resolve it.

HEALTH EQUITY SCIENCE: PRINCIPLES, APPLICATIONS AND TRUST IN HEALTHCARE ACCESS, SAFETY AND PRIVACY

Veterans Affairs (VA)
Health equity and access to hi-quality, trusted medical care is a multidimensional concept long recognized as a critical pillar in national economic development and healthcare system performance. The historical roots of the concept go back to the 1800s, and the first documented use of the term “health equality”, to 1966, in an article published in the Penn Law Review. Inevitably, healthcare equity revolves around questions of personal privacy, provider trust, data ownership, and the trusted exchange of sensitive data, especially for disadvantaged populations. In this session, we will draw on the experience of three noted experts in the fields of privacy, data ownership, and the complex relationship between the quality of medical research, and the quality of the data it depends on.
